Anw survivor benefit

If a child has lost both parents

Children up to the age of 15 can get an Anw orphan's benefit if they have lost both parents. Orphans aged 16 to 20 may also qualify for an Anw orphan's benefit if they meet additional requirements.

Who can get an Anw orphan’s benefit

A child can get an Anw orphan's benefit if he or she has lost both parents. It makes no difference whether the child is a natural child or an adopted child.
A child can only receive an orphan's benefit if the parent who died last was insured under the Anw scheme. (People who live or work in the Netherlands are insured).
